Audeze LCD-XC Closed

The LCD-XC represents Audeze's pioneering closed-back headphone model, developed through years of research. It incorporates exclusive Fazor technology for enhanced sound quality and works well in noisy environments while delivering the company's renowned audio fidelity.

Closed-Back Design Benefits

The closed-back construction provides enhanced isolation from external noise, making them ideal for immersive listening and studio monitoring. This design approach also delivers a full and authoritative low-end response, ideal for both critical listening and immersive music enjoyment. The closed-back design makes these headphones perfect for use in environments where sound isolation is important.

Fazor Technology

Patented Fazor elements intricately guide internal headphone soundwaves, mitigating resonances to produce a more accurate waveform and pristine audio reproduction. This technology results in improved phase response, extended frequency range, and smoother overall sound. Audeze's exclusive Fazor technology works in conjunction with the planar magnetic drivers to achieve enhanced clarity and extended frequency response.

Ultra-Thin Planar Magnetic Drivers

Features diaphragms thinner than human hair yet 4x larger than typical headphones, promoting rapid response and reducing distortion. The ultra-thin diaphragms are a hallmark of Audeze's engineering excellence, allowing for incredibly fast transient response and minimal distortion across the entire frequency spectrum.

Double-sided magnet arrays maintain uniform driving force across the diaphragm for minimal distortion. This innovative double-sided design ensures that the diaphragm moves with perfect uniformity, eliminating the distortions that plague conventional headphone designs.

Premium Materials & Construction

Crafted from polished anodized aluminum earcups with woven carbon fiber pattern. The new carbon fiber cups provide modern aesthetics with a distinctive woven pattern, replacing the discontinued Maple finish option while offering enhanced acoustic properties.

Features steel and leather suspension headband with premium lambskin leather or suede microfiber fabric ear pads. The headphones incorporate specially-crafted foam that strikes the right balance between firmness and acoustic performance, ensuring comfort and optimal sound quality during extended listening sessions.

Neutral Sound Signature

Described as the most neutral headphone in the LCD Collection, the LCD-XC appeals to audiophiles, recording engineers, and musicians. It delivers exceptional clarity and precise dynamics with a rich and natural sound signature, with deep bass, clear mids, and smooth treble.

Closed-Back Advantage

Provides isolation from external noise and enhances bass response for immersive listening. Works well with portable devices though it benefits significantly from external amplification. The 20-ohm impedance makes these headphones relatively easy to drive, providing broad device compatibility.

Professional Studio Tool

Purpose-designed for professional studio monitoring with accurate, detailed sound reproduction ideal for mixing and mastering. These headphones are suitable for professional studio use, offering the accuracy and detail needed for critical listening tasks.
